26 "He strikes them like the wicked In a public place,
27 Because they turned aside from following Him, And had no regard for any of His ways;
28 So that they caused the cry of the poor to come to Him, And that He might hear the cry of the afflicted-
29 When He keeps quiet, who then can condemn? And when He hides His face, who then can behold Him, That is, in regard to both nation and man?-
30 So that godless men would not rule Nor be snares of the people.
31 "For has anyone said to God, 'I have borne chastisement; I will not offend anymore;
32 Teach me what I do not see; If I have done iniquity, I will not do it again'?
